I found this video over at Carlos Whitaker’s amazing blog. It will be some of the best three minutes of your whole day. Take a look (please excuse some of the ridiculous outfits), and then read what he wrote about starting your own movement. I love it!
A few things I think we can learn from this video.
1. One man can start a movement.
2. A movement need not be started by the most skilled member of the movement.
3. When beginning your movement and you look around and no one else is joining the dance, just keep dancing.
4. When the one guy who joins your movement slowly fades away, keep going.
5. Before you know it, the people joining your movement won’t even know you started it.
6. When your movement takes a life of it’s own, just let go. There will be no stopping it.
7. The very people who are staring at you like your nuts as you movement alone, will be the very same people dancing the hardest in the end.
I have nothing more insightful to add to this, except that I hope I am never ashamed of who God created me to be, and I pray that I teach my children to be the same. Let’s start a movement! What will yours be?
love it!
and if i ever see you dancing on a hill by yourself –
i will totally come dance with you.
in a way, you have already done that hundreds of time over the last few years.
